Gymnastics Update.


I've borrowed a friend's laptop after getting back from the apparatus finals at the British Gymnastics Championships today. My own photos and videos will follow later.

Yesterday 2008 olympian Hannah Whelan completed her comeback from injury to win the all-around title ahead of new senior Nicole Hibbert and her Heathrow team-mate Danusia Francis.

Beth Tweddle only competed bars here (not sure if that means she's protecting an injury) but she loooked fit and won the title with ease.

Danusia Francis surprised some by winning the senior beam and floor title, ahead of Whelan and Niamh Rippin.

Also at the Japan Cup - Russia won the womens team title over Japan. Ksenia Afansyava showed she is still a contender by winning the All Around, ahead of Koko Tsurumi and Aliya Mustafina.


Thats all for now - much more soon! (These photos from International Gymnast)
